Het committè van remotie [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[1796]dutfreeng"The interior of a church or crypt, indicated by a stone wall with funeral monuments, and a flagged floor in which old graves have been violated. A soldier tramples on a skeleton, another levers up a flag-stone. Behind, a boy in military uniform, in back view, urinates upon a skull. A citizen raises a mallet in both hands to deface a large monument against the wall, on which is the figure of a bearded man in sixteenth-century armour, which partly obscures the lettering on the tomb: 'Wil. . . [F]riso Princ .... Araus Na ...'. A tomb beside it (right), headed by a pyramid of skulls, is 'F. W: \ com: Nassov. \ Obiit \ Anno . . \.' There are other broken tombstones, one inscribed 'Princ: Araus'. A plumed helmet and blazoned shield lie on the ground. 'C'est ainsi qu'en Frise les amis de la liberté ont détruit jusqu'à la mémoire de leurs anciens tyrans. . . .'
